Just because he knows the Tarrasque in the MM is an impossible challenge, what made him think it was the same in this game? Eventually the DM wasn't really going to have them work as in the MM (already because the MM one is said to be "unique"), what if they were completely different, what if they were illusions? And even if they were exactly like the MM entry, I guess they weren't going to be part of the game, but rather a display of power to warn the characters not to think they can take on the NPC they're going to meet (a lame choice I agree, but I don't know the story and your friend didn't as well, how can one judge beforehand?).After all, the DM was probably kind of megalomaniac, but IMO that's a lesser fault if the game goes otherwise well.</blockquote>
